Summary

The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious
Knowledge
is a well-known reference work for Christianity. This encyclopedia was
originally an English adaptation of German theologian Johann Jakob
Herzog's "Realencyklopadie fur protestantische Theologie und
Kirche."
The adaptation began under the leadership of Philip Schaff, but since
then has seen the contributions of over 100 editors and 600 scholars. It
is the most comprehensive, detailed, and significant encyclopedia for
the Christian religion in the English language. It covers a wide range
of topics, including church history, comparative religion, geography,
doctrinal theology, archeology, and biblical studies. A powerful
reference tool, the New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious
Knowledge contains thousands of entries, which are concise but
highly
informative. Ideal for learning about unfamiliar terms and ideas, these
volumes are an indispensable resource.
